The Summer Sky

This is a favourable time for planetary enthusiasts, as all the bright planets are on view. There are also brilliant southern stars, such as the Scorpion with its red leader Antares. Patrick Moore conducts a tour of the summer sky, and explains what can be seen with the naked eye or with binoculars or telescopes.
